Harvey Reid unveils his new discovery, "Liberty Tuning," a simple but immensely powerful new guitar environment that you can do with any guitar in as little as 10 seconds. It requires a special partial capo and a slight modification to the tuning, which is why it has remained hidden in the guitar fingerboard for centuries. Though it works almost instantly and it can make great-sounding guitar music dramatically easier to do, it can be quite confusing, and you'll enjoy it much more with some guidance making your way through this new guitar "hyperpace." If you already play or teach guitar, this is the book you need to show you the amazing hidden landscape of music in Liberty Tuning. Visit the "Liberty Guitar" web site.
This book maps out the whole set of new possibilities, and shows 1, 2, 3 and 4-finger chords in both versions of Liberty Tuning, sorted in both musical and geometric order. This means you can quickly find all the ways to play a chord like A or A minor or Am7 at varying levels of difficulty, and it also shows you all the musical options generated by each of the dozens of simple movable shapes that this mysterious tuning generates. No matter what level you play guitar, it's incredibly fun to explore this hidden "continent" of music in every fingerboard.
You need a universal partial capo or our new Liberty "Flip" capo to generate Liberty Tuning, though you can do part of it with most standard Esus 3-string capos.
The 135 pages are packed with ideas, advice, pictures, over 1200 chord diagrams and guitar strategy.
